Baseball Analogy

Ok, you have to get through the baseball stuff (and I love baseball stuff) before you hit the meat of the argument, but it's worth it.   This is good stuff. 

Highlight:

-Industrialization is ALWAYS a wasteful process.
-In theatre our raw materials are people.
-Those people waiting tables in New York, providing casting directors one more alternative look, with enough talent to be ‘starting’ elsewhere? That’s wasted raw material.
-That’s hurting theatre.

  1. Actor/playwright William Gillette invoked baseball to explain the difference between scripts and plays: "Read a play? As well try to read a game of base-ball."
